Airport
Does the airport act as a hub or a router, because my ISP only allowed 2 IP's and my older mac doesn't have a airport slot. So if would I be able to connect a hardware line to my old mac and use the airport as a router for 2 other macs so they can share the same IP slot?
If i explained myself poorly please just reply or email [email protected] (guess i'll have to be changing that soon) <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

The airport is a router. It has one line for either a direct connection to a computer or you can hook a hub or switch up and have multiple computers hooked up via Cat 5 plus all the wireless devices. Before I got my iMac, I had my iBook and my PC hooked to the airport. Now I have an iBook (wireless) and my iMac and pc hooked to a hub then the hub hooked to the airport. All sharing the same IP. Its been a good little router so far. Better than my linksys I had.
